The one-time All-Star would've made $24.1 million with the Clippers next season. He could still return to Los Angeles on a longer contract, but the Mavericks will be "clear favorites" to sign Jordan when free agency begins on July 1, according to NBA.com's David Aldridge. The franchise is reportedly " all-in " on acquiring the big man even after what happened in 2015.

Mavericks will be clear favorites to sign Jordan, three years after he verbally agreed to a deal in Dallas then changed his mind at the 11th hour to stay with the Clippers.

Jordan averaged 12.0 points, 15.2 rebounds and 0.9 blocks per game with the Clippers in 2017-18. The Clippers finished with a 42-40 record and missed out on the playoffs for the first time since 2010-11.
